“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”


“Chris was amazing, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone needing dog sitting. My pups took to him immediately, and got excited when he’d come over to walk them. They really enjoyed the special attention he gave them, and he was great at giving me updates during my very long business trip. I felt my dogs were in the best hands! Thanks, Chris!!”


“Kathryn is fabulous. I am always apprehensive when/if I have to leave our fur-kids with new people, but she immediately fit right in with our pack; our dogs love her (and they can be choosy!). Highly recommended! :-)”


“Michelle did amazing with my animals, I have 4! 2 dogs and 2 cats. She was very flexible when the schedule changed as well. Very easy to communicate with, sent update photos and is very observant with your animals. If you book her, just know your pets are in good hands!”


“Norma took really good care of my baby girl who is shy around new people. She gave her her meds and got her to sit on her lap. Norma is great with cats and I recommend her”


“I can't say enough great things about Brittany. She captures the best pictures of my boys and always has fun, detailed report cards of her visits. My kitties have never been so open and comfortable with anyone other than me, she is amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind that your fur babies will be in great hands.”


“I read reviews for Haley before we booked our visit and they all seemed to be sparkling, as were her Visits with our two cats. She represents your company very well and is well-spoken, professional and w we’ll be very happy to ask for Haley in the future. 👍💕”


“Craig was great with our dog and two cats while we were away. The dog got long walks and lots of play time with him. Even the cats seemed content once we got home. We look forward to using him again in the future.”


“Julie was a life saver when we had conflicting schedules and needed someone to help care for the pups. She was on time, sent lots of pictures, had great communication, and was so sweet to my babies. Will definitely recommend and hopefully can have her help again in the future!”


About: I’ve taken care of lizards and dogs. I’ve trained my own dog, and he has been canine good citizen certified. My dog gets along well with other dogs but in the event of an issue I have pens and crates to separate animals with consent. I currently provide time to walk my dog each morning, afternoon and night with play time during the day as I work from home. I am very flexible. 2-3 walks daily, with play time or training once to burn energy. My complex has a dog park which I utilize about once a week

“Hope took such good care of my two kitties! This was my first time leaving them alone with a sitter and any anxiety I had about it went away immediately with Hope. She was prompt with a response to any message I sent, and I came back home to two happy cats and my home as clean as I left it. She sent me adorable updates each visit (2x a day) and was consistent with her schedule for them. I would recommend Hope to anyone!”


About: I have a lot of experience working with a reactive and anxious rescue pit-bull mix…my sweet baby girl, Abby!! It’s been a process but she’s made huge strides! So I’m quite familiar with having to be extremely vigilant on walks, training treats on hand, knowing when to cross the street to avoid triggers…etc. I fostered an adorable blue nose pitbull puppy! I house trained him and worked with him for a year. That was one of the hardest things I ever had to do…let that handsome boy go to his forever home! I also had a dog when I was growing up. The only way we were going o get her was if I was willing to take most of the care of her and I happily obliged! I was also the pet sitter in the neighborhood. I love all dogs! I’m currently not working so I have quite an open schedule! I’ve been a teacher for 21 years and I’m taking a break to do what I love…spending time with my girl, Abby, volunteering at Save-A-Pet, and helping people out by walking their dogs! I’m not able to have pets in my home because Abby doesn’t get along well with other dogs. I’m happy to do whatever a client wants me to do with their pet! I live a very active lifestyle, so if your pet needs to go for a few miles run not a problem! Also happy to just give scratches and make your pet feel comfortable while you’re away!

“Alyssa is dependable, reliable and knowledgeable. We know we can trust her to take the best care of our cats while we are away from home which gives us great peace of mind.”


“Aimee took wonderful care of our dog! Our dog is getting older and she was patient and caring. Aimee provided quality care that reassured me that he was fed and loved. Thank you Aimee!!!”

About: Ive never not been around dogs! I grew up with Malteses from 0-18 and as soon as I moved away for school I rescued my Husky mix and raised him from 5 weeks old. I’ve cared for many types of dogs, including rescues with troubled pasts, and high maintenance elderly dogs. I spent countless hours volunteering at my local humane society where I encountered & cared for so many animals with their own sets of needs. I’m happy to administer medicine, work on potty training, teaching basic commands, and anything else your pets might need. I do travel 3-4 days out of the week for work and frequently use Rover myself to find care for my dog. I know the struggle of finding and booking a sitter. While I’m only available part time each week, I strive to keep my availability up to date to make things easier for you. Due to my landlord’s rules, I do not offer boarding in my home. And due to me also being a Dog Mom I can’t agree to do overnight stays in your home as then I’d need to find care for my dog. I’m happy to provide drop ins, walks, and checking on your home. As far as care, I love detailed lists! Tell me everything there is to know about your pet, no amount of information is ever enough to share with me. The more details you share, the more I’m able to provide you the best service for you and the level of care that your pet deserves.

“Amy was very sweet to our dog. We left on a week long vacation and because he is labeled as a “difficult” dog no one can keep him overnight with other dogs. Amy visited him 3 times a day and made sure he was happy. We didn’t have to worry about him like we always do. She came on time, never had a call telling us she couldn’t make it. It was wonderful. Will will be seeking out Amy again in the future.”


“Kimberly was great. Was going to be out of town for a week and could only get a friend to come by a couple days so wanted to make sure my four cats water was topped off and food dispensers kept working properly. Booked Kimberly for three day to drop in and just check on them, their litter and water. Even though they’re wary of new people I think it made a world of difference and she was able to see three of them and confirm they were fine, sending along pictures and a brief update. This gave me a chance to relax on my trip and not stress out. Will definitely use the service and if Kimberly is available, book her again!”

Valerie B.
“I have known Valerie for over a decade now as a friend and previous co-worker. One thing I know about her is... she LOVES dogs. Not just her own, but ANY dog. If your dog is lucky enough to be in her care, it will be spoiled and well taken care of! She's responsible, caring, has a huge heart, and truly loves animals. I wish her dog, Abby, could write a testimonial because it would read something like, "My mom loves to take me on long runs and walks in nature. Sometimes I get tired, so she pushes me in a buggy, but just getting outside to enjoy the fresh air does me so much good. My mom is loving, nurturing, and will take GREAT care of your dog because she takes wonderful care of me!"”

Natalie B.
“I cannot recommend Natalie highly enough! From the moment we connected, she demonstrated professionalism, warmth, and a genuine love for animals. My dog, Rebel, can be a bit excitable around new people, but Natalie made quick friends with him. During the sitting, I received frequent updates, including photos and messages, which reassured me that Rebel was happy, well-cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Whether it was sticking to his feeding schedule, going for long walks, or providing playtime, Natalie took care of Rebel like he was her own. If you’re looking for a responsible, trustworthy, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Natalie. I will absolutely be booking her again in the future! Let me know if you’d like any adjustments—happy to fine-tune it!”


Brookelynn S.
“Brookelynn was great! I think my dog is more excited to see her than he is to see me. I always leave a detailed sheet of instructions for my sitters and Brookelynn is the only one who ever actually follows it. While she’s not available 24/7 for pet sitting I always try to snatch her up whenever she is! She is mine and Simba’s FAVORITE sitter! Can’t say enough positive things about her. So heartbroken that she moved away, but Illinois just got the best sitter ever!!!”
